  • the orientations of the mobile phones 102,104 just before the shake initiation are 100° E and 278° W respectively.
  • 20° error margin or tolerance is provided and this will be elaborated below. It should be understood that the error margin may be revised and changed according to applications.
  • the controllers 210 also initiate download of respective GPS signals from the AGPS modules 206 to the controllers 210 at step 404.
  • the AGPS modules 206 obtain the GPS signal from GPS satellites 108,110 via the respective base stations 112,114 since AGPS is used. This results in a much quicker receipt of the GPS signals. If the AGPS is weak or to enhance the accuracy, the mobile phones 102,104 may use Wi-Fi (if available) to determine their locations.
  • the GPS signals identify the geographical locations of the mobile phones 102,104 using latitude and longitude coordinates and these are used as a second pairing parameter.

  • the shake server 106 verifies the pairing parameters by comparing the pairing parameters with pairing conditions.
  • the shake server 106 checks the geographical locations (xi,yi) and (x 2 ,y 2 ) of the two mobile phones 102,104 to determine if they are within the same location.
  • the same location is defined as within a distance threshold of 300 metres of each other, and the distance threshold is thus one of the pairing conditions.

For the users to reinitiate the pairing, they have to shake the mobile devices 102,104 again.
  • the shake server 106 verifies that the two mobile phones 102,104 are within the same location (i.e. within 300 metres), the shake server 106 verifies the pairing initiation times t 1 p t 2 which helps to determine if both the mobile phones 102,104 are indeed the pairs which initiated the handshake gesture.

If shake server 106 did not receive pairing requests from other mobile phones (except the first and second mobile phones 102,104), then the shake server 106 need not use the orientation as part of the pairing algorithm. On the other hand, if the shake server 106 has received pairing requests from the two mobile phones 02, 04 and other mobile phones (for example, third and fourth mobile phones 1 6,118, see Figure 3) and these mobile phones 102,104,116, 18 all satisfy the distance and time thresholds discussed earlier, the shake server 106 would use the orientation to determine which of the two mobile phones wish to be paired. This is advantages since it would increase the pairing success rate - instead of abandoning the pairing in view of so many mobile devices, the shake server 106 is able to make use of the orientation to recognize correct pairs of the mobile devices for the pairing.
  • the shake server 106 processes these two orientations to determine if the two mobile devices 102,104 are pointing at each other.
  • the shake server 106 takes the orientation of the first mobile phone 102 of 100° E and inverses this value to arrive at 280°.
  • the shake server 106 derives minimum and maximum orientation values using the error margin of 20°.
  • the minimum orientation value is 280°-10° to give 270° and the maximum orientation value is then 280°+10° to give 290°.
  • the shake server 106 compares the orientation of the second mobile phone 104 with the minimum and maximum orientation values. If the orientation of the second mobile phone 104 falls within the minimum and maximum orientation values, the shake server 106 would know that the two mobile phones 102, 104 took part in the same "handshake".
  • the orientation of the second mobile phone 102,104 is 278° W which falls within the minimum and maximum orientation values of 270° and 290°. Thus, this pairing condition is satisfied, and the flow goes to step 4 2.

  • the second mobile phone 104 periodically checks with the shake server 106 and when the data is available to be transmitted to the second mobile phone 104, the second mobile phone 104 sets up the data transfer connection with the shake server 106.

  • the user of the first mobile device 502 has reward points to exchange for an item with the merchant of the electronic terminal 504
  • the user requests and downloads a QR code embedded with a unique transaction identifier and information regarding the loyalty reward, for example, a free cup of coffee, into the first mobile phone 502.
  • the user brings the mobile phone 502 to the merchant and shows the QR code to the merchant which may be an operator of a coffee outlet.
  • the merchant then invokes a software program (if the software program is not already running) in the electronic terminal 504 to capture an image of the QR code.
  • the unique transaction code is extracted from the captured QR code and the code is sent to the pairing server 506 for verification. If the verification of the unique transaction code is successful, this means that the QR code is genuine, and the pairing server 506 would send a confirmation message to the electronic terminal 504.
  • the merchant is assured of the authenticity of the QR code and may proceed to provide a free cup of coffee to the user (i.e. the transaction), in accordance with the conditions of the loyalty reward.
  • the described embodiments should not be construed as limitative.
  • a mobile phone instead of a mobile phone, other mobile/communication devices, such as tablets and PDA's etc may also use the proposed method for transferring data.
  • AGPS is used for determining the geographical location of the mobile phones 102,104 but it is envisaged that the mobile phones may communicate directly with the GPS satellites 108,110 to receive the GPS signals, although this may not be preferred. It is also envisaged that the location of the mobile phones 102,104 may be determined from other ways, for example, Wi-Fi positioning systems.
  • the first embodiment uses the transfer of data from the first mobile phone 102 and the second mobile phone 104 as an example, but it should be appreciated that the pairing algorithm 400 may also be used for exchange of data between the two mobile phones 102,104. Further, the apparatus 100 may pair devices simultaneously or sequentially using the pairing algorithm 400 depending on the configuration of the shake server 106 and the other components. Also, instead of pairing between one mobile phone to another mobile phone, the pairing algorithm may be used to pair one mobile phone (or device) to many mobile phones (or devices). Likewise for the second embodiment, the pairing may be between one device and multiple devices. Needless to say, it would be appreciated that the distance and time thresholds, and the error margin of the orientation of the first embodiment may vary accordingly.
  • the orientation of the mobile phones 102,104 may or may not be used depending on the verification of the other two pairing parameters: location information and pairing initiation time. However, it is envisaged that the orientation of the mobile phones 102,104 may be used by default, to enhance the accuracy of the pairing.
  • the input of PIN may not be necessary as evidenced by the above explanation, although using PINs add another layer of security.
  • QR code other coding techniques may be used, such as a barcode. It may also be possible to send the unique transaction identifier in the clear together with other information, although this may not be preferred.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de jumelage de dispositifs mobiles 102, 104. Selon un mode de réalisation décrit, le procédé consiste (i) à recevoir les paramètres de jumelage des dispositifs mobiles 102,104 à jumeler, le jumelage étant activé par le mouvement de vibration des dispositifs mobiles 102,104 et les paramètres de jumelage contenant les directions des vibrations respectives des dispositifs mobiles 102,104; (ii) à vérifier les paramètres de jumelage avec les conditions de jumelage afin de déterminer les deux dispositifs mobiles 102,104 à jumeler; (iii) à déterminer si les directions des vibrations doivent être utilisées dans l'étape de vérification (ii); (iv) si les conditions de jumelage sont remplies, à jumeler les dispositifs mobiles 102,104. L'invention concerne également un appareil de jumelage de dispositifs mobiles et d'autres procédés de jumelage.
